Product details
Overview
SK55C R7G from Taiwan Semiconductor is a 5A, 50V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, optimized for high-efficiency switching power supplies with low forward voltage (0.75 V at 5 A, 25°C) and high surge capability (120 A). It serves as the primary output rectifier in AC/DC adapters and DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SK55C R7G datasheet, SK55C R7G pinout, SK55C R7G application, or SK55C R7G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 13 °C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance, moisture sensitivity level 1 rating, and RoHS/halogen-free compliance for automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The SK55C R7G employs a single-die Schottky structure with guard ring overvoltage protection, enabling stable operation up to 150°C junction temperature. Its low VF minimizes conduction loss in high-frequency SMPS topologies where efficiency and thermal management are critical.
Designed for unidirectional current flow, it features a cathode band polarity indicator and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The device operates within -55°C to +150°C storage and junction temperature ranges, with 10,000 V/µs critical dV/dt rating ensuring robustness against fast transient voltages.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS55-E3/57T | Same 50 V VRRM, 5 A IF, but VF = 0.72 V (typ) at 5 A; slightly lower RθJA (50 °C/W vs. 53 °C/W) | Identical DO-214AB footprint; used in same adapter designs but with tighter thermal budget | Select SS55-E3/57T when marginal thermal headroom exists and sub-0.73 V VF is required |
| MBR550RLG | 50 V VRRM, 5 A IF, VF = 0.79 V (max) at 5 A; higher IR (1.0 mA @ 50 V, 25°C) | DO-214AB package; common in automotive body electronics due to AEC-Q101 qualification | Choose MBR550RLG only if AEC-Q101 compliance is mandatory; otherwise SK55C R7G offers better efficiency |
Compared with SS55-E3/57T and MBR550RLG, the SK55C R7G delivers a balanced trade-off of low VF (0.75 V), industry-standard thermal performance (RθJL = 13 °C/W), and Level 1 moisture sensitivity-making it optimal for high-volume consumer power supplies where cost, efficiency, and manufacturability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SK55C R7G?
The SK55C R7G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150°C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official TSC datasheet Version S2311. This rating allows continuous operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed power adapters or industrial control modules where ambient temperatures exceed 70°C. Derating curves confirm usable current capacity down to 2.5 A at 125°C case temperature.
Does the SK55C R7G have a defined pinout or terminal configuration?
Yes-the SK55C R7G is a two-terminal Schottky rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package with clearly defined anode and cathode terminals. The cathode is marked by a visible band on the molded body; the anode is the unmarked end. This polarity must be observed during PCB layout to ensure correct current direction and prevent catastrophic failure.
Is the SK55C R7G compliant with RoHS and halogen-free standards?
Yes-the SK55C R7G is fully RoHS compliant and halogen-free, as explicitly stated in the "Features" section of the TSC datasheet Version S2311. These compliance statements are verified through material declarations and third-party testing, supporting use in consumer electronics sold in EU, Japan, and other regulated markets requiring strict substance restrictions.
What is the forward voltage specification for the SK55C R7G at rated current?
The SK55C R7G exhibits a typical forward voltage (VF) of 0.75 V at 5 A and 25°C junction temperature, per electrical specifications in the TSC datasheet. This value is measured under pulse conditions (PW = 0.3 ms), reflecting real-world conduction loss in high-frequency switching applications. At 100°C, VF drops to approximately 0.68 V due to negative temperature coefficient behavior.
How does the SK55C R7G compare to the SK54C and SK56C in terms of voltage rating?
The SK55C R7G is rated for 50 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), positioning it between the SK54C (40 V) and SK56C (60 V) in the SK52C–SK520C family. All three share identical current (5 A), thermal (RθJL = 13 °C/W), and packaging (DO-214AB) specifications-only VRRM and corresponding VF/IR values differ. This enables direct substitution in designs where 50 V provides optimal margin over worst-case reflected voltage.
